Critical Assessments
“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Leopold Ferrari's Concern belongs to this school. The crinkle fry, double-fried in canola, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The argument is persuasive. One does not return. This information is provided without judgment.”
“At Leopold Ferrari's Concern, the crinkle fry is taken seriously in a way that does not announce itself. The double-fry method produces an exterior that is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”
“In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Leopold Ferrari's Concern has one of its own. The crinkle fry is double-fried in canola. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is restrained. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”
